After Jiang Fangcheng had left, Mu Dong couldnāt take it anymore and babbled with the rest of his roommates. āThereās no way he likes Qi Qi, right?
āF*ck, that wonāt do. Isnāt he already engaged? If he ever dares to set his eyes upon Qi Qi, letās tell his girlfriend. Tell her that heās freaking faking his marriage with her.ā
The few roommates felt relieved after theyād chatted for a bit.
It was just thatā¦
āWas that really Qi Qi just now?ā
Jiang Fangcheng hadnāt truly relaxed ever since he walked past the birch forest. Here, the roommates managed to come to a conclusion without any further discussion. Jiang Fangcheng may mistake someone for Bai Qi, however, itās unlikely for Mu Dong and the others would. They could clearly remember what Bai Qi was wearing when he went out.
Jiang Fangcheng ruffled his hair as if he was taking out all of his suppressed anger on it.
Then, he took out his phone and continued to phone Bai Qi.
Again and again.
Not once was his call answered.
He kept on calling him and only stopped when his battery level showed that it was at 19%.
At this point, Jiang Fangcheng had almost lost it.
Not picking up his phone.
The huge and tall man in the grove.
Jiang Fangcheng tightened his grip on his phone as he took huge steps forward. Suddenly, his phone rang.
He scrambled to pick it up. āHey!ā His voice was rushed, with a hint of surprise.
However, a girlās voice came from the other end of the phone. āHey, where are you? Iām at your dorm now.ā
Jiang Fangcheng choked back a little. āā¦ Iām out now, Iāll be back in a bit.ā
From this tone, the other person could tell that there was something wrong. She couldnāt help and said, āYouāre not doing something behind my back, right?ā
āIām not, ā replied Jiang Fangcheng.
Han Si is Jiang Fangchengās fiance. She was hand-picked by his father.
āThatās good. I donāt care about the rest, but the invitations have already been sent. You canāt let me lose face. I know you kinda had a lover in the pastā¦ Anyway, just be smarter. If I were humiliated, my dad would lose face too. Then, weāll have to talk to your dad personally.ā The person on the other end lazily uttered a few sentences and hung up the call frankly.
Jiang Fangcheng had a gush of anger stuck in his throat. He couldnāt spit it out, but neither could he swallow it back down.
At first, he oddly felt a little pleased when he found out that Bai Qi hadnāt left his room in seven days. Now, all he felt was that this was a really f*cking bad day.
He held back his emotions and hurriedly rushed towards his dorm. It just so happened that his phone was out of battery too.
On the other hand, Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun had just taken their seats in a restaurant.
Xi Chengyun didnāt pick a restaurant that was too far away from Bai Qiās university, probably being considerate to Bai Qi.
The menu of this restaurant was hand-written. Xi Chengyun accepted the menu from the waiter and placed it in front of Bai Qi with a push.
āOrder whatever you like.ā
Bai Qi didnāt make a big deal out of it and swiftly placed his order.
The assistant who sat at the side was the one who was a little anxious.
There were certain dishes that Xi-laoshiĀ ate, and some that he didnāt. Other people didnāt know this well.
The assistant quickly took the menu over and said, āIāll help you pass it back to the waiter.ā
He bowed his head and scanned the menu.
It seems likeā¦ there isnāt anything that Xi-laoshi doesnāt like to eat.
The assistant slowly relaxed and couldnāt help but start to guess.Ā What stage of the relationship is the boy and Xi-laoshi atā¦
The waiter retrieved the menu and made his way out.
As they waited for their orders, Xi Chengyun asked his assistant to pass a bag over to him. Then, he took a folder out from the bag.
He handed the folder to Bai Qi and said, āShang Guang previously mentioned that heād send this to you. I thought for a bit and decided that Iāll give it to you myself since Iām already here.ā
Bai Qi accepted the folder, flipped it open and quickly glanced through it.
On top, there was a bolded text written āThings to Take Note Ofā. When he looked downwardsĀ āā
Oh boy!
A shiny bank card!
Its entirety sparkled with the brilliance of money!
Bai Qi closed the folder shut and blinked a few times at Xi Chengyun, indicating that yes, he had seen it and yes, he had received it.
The assistant was in shock and fear as he watched the whole thing play out from the side.
Iām as single as a dog. Ah, am I not in misery right now?
Eating with Xi Chengyun was not as uncomfortable as Bai Qi had imagined.
Both of them had very good manners and they didnāt talk much as they ate. Still, they would occasionally share a sentence or two to avoid a lifeless atmosphere. Otherwise, the assistant would soon think that they were having a fight.
